British National Road Race

[Steve Chapman]

Jason leaving Brackla at 9am so should be with you around 9:40 i guess.

[Jason T]

Yeah, it's usually around 45 minutes depending on wind conditions.

I also found the following, I guess the main point would be Page 1 around the 17 mile mark for a time that they would be coming through the point at Caerleon  (approx 13:40 to 13:46):

Ok, so I'll catch the group in the morning and let's hope for good weather.

[Wayne E]

I will be  going , ride up with you and be returning early.

[Rob Jones]

I'm going to drive up to abergavenny and watch the 10 laps with family in the evening. But still plan to be at brackla at 9am...probably won't stick with you through Newport but am sure plenty will know the way through. I reckon Kristian House will win but would love to see a youngster do it, especially a welsh one. Scott Davies maybe? 

[Davey C]

No way. Sky will flip a coin amongst themselves as to who will win. I reckon Geraint.

[Rob Jones]

Geraint the obvious choice. Luke maybe a stronger finisher? But I hope anyone other than a sky rider (even welsh ones)

[wardhaugh]

An each way bet on the Yates twins could be worth considering. I'll be cheering for Owain Doull to get the U-23.

[Davey C]

Geraint the obvious choice. Luke maybe a stronger finisher? But I hope anyone other than a sky rider (even welsh ones)

I agree. I'm not a sky fan. Just can't see anyone else winning it.

[Wayne E]

Good ride  today on Club run. Thanks to Steve for his route was interesting in places. LOL
Harpo  and i  didn't stop for the races we decided to come back o n A48 . Thanks to Harpo for the tow back he was flying.

[RichardB]

Yes great day out and lots of miles. And a couple of very good coffee/food stops. Thanks to the group for pacing me back from Newport, especially Paul, Jason and Alan, much appreciated. And thanks again to Steve for the organising.

[Rob Jones]

Did not see any oggies in abergavenny....must have been some though? Was quite easy to watch the race by the finish area. Saw a lot of sky riders plus the Yates bros and not a lot else. Daveys prediction of sky dominance was spot on!

[RichardB]

We watched the race in Llangybi Rob, half way between Caerleon and Usk.

It's a good job you're not a gambler! 

[Steve Chapman]

Wayne, Neil, Haydn, Paul, Chris, Richard and myself left Brackla at 9am, picked up Allan in Brynna and Jason in Creigiau to do the planned route to Caerleon. My garmin didn't like junctions or roundabouts so we took a couple of wrong turns ( you might see us in the next episode of Police Camera Action ) Got to Caerleon in plenty of time so a nice coffee stop at the Priory. Wayne and Haydn needed to get back and the rest of us went on to Llangybi to watch the race. Allan then took over the navigation ( thank god ) and pulled us pretty much all the way home. 85 miles for me and back by 4pm to watch the live coverage on Eurosport, Thanks all for another great day out.

Tour next weekend!!

Harsh Davey...At least Kristian House finished! And Luke Rowe was my pick for Team Sky. Geraint was well off the pace and in no-mans land for a while. To be honest I never thought the race would split up let alone get shattered as it did. Sky must have put the hammer down from the start!
